Foreign songs that men like. World classics and popular songs (11–20)
Uptown FunkMark Ronson
Technically it’s a Mark Ronson classic, but without Bruno, this song wouldn’t exist.
It’s an upbeat track, and the music video is crafted with a really cool attention to detail.
Bruno is, of course, hugely popular with women, but everything he does and says is so cool that he’s also extremely popular with men.
I’m Not AfraidEminem
Eminem, who was once unimaginably popular in Japan.
People even said that when it came to hip-hop, it had to be him.
As a white artist, he carved out an era in this world with this classic track.
Countless men admired his unparalleled lyrics and his cool, tough persona.
WhistleFlo Rida
For men, in a sense it’s a classic—a song like that.
The lyrics are so embarrassing I’m ashamed to even translate them, but the way he can sing songs like this so boldly makes him someone men look up to, doesn’t it? The melody is so good I can’t help humming along…
It’s My LifeBon Jovi
In a word: cool! It’s a masterpiece among masterpieces.
It’s been just under 20 years since the song came out, but instead of getting old, it’s stayed popular—so much so that there are probably hardly any young people who don’t know it.
The lyrics are amazing, and John is cool, too.
Let Her GoPassenger
If you think of Passenger’s greatest hits, it has to be this song.
It’s very mellow and easy to sing, so men sing it often at karaoke.
They’re a laid-back band with strong appeal to both men and women—a truly wonderful group.
